SEVILLA, SPAIN – OCTOBER 22, 2026 Man believed to be around 40 years old died after inflicting several serious knife wounds on himself on the busy Luis Montoto street. Shortly beforehand, he had asked for a knife at the nearby Bodeguita La Chicotá bar, where the staff refused his request and escorted him outside.
He then entered a fish shop, where, following a struggle with a female employee, he seized a large knife and began repeatedly stabbing himself in the neck, chest, and abdomen. The shop’s owner, Susana Calvo, sustained minor injuries during the incident.
The man then went out onto the street, where a healthcare worker from a nearby elderly care facility attempted to disarm him. However, he was unable to stop the man either. After the man collapsed onto the roadway, the healthcare worker and other responders attempted resuscitation. Police officers and emergency medical personnel arrived at the scene, but they were unable to save him. His identity has not been released.
